Recently, Microsoft has created a new web site, designed to highlight the advantages of the Internet Explorer web browser. As it turns out, Mozilla did not like the idea of such page at all and has responded to the software giant claims.
According to Johnathan Nightingale, Mozilla’s director of Firefox engineering, such marketing tricks are notable for the things they fail to include. Following such statement, Johnathan has proceeded to name three features that should have been listed, those include: HSTS, Do Not Track and patch response time.

As you might imagine, Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers already support the HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) standard, while Internet Explorer does not. However, in Microsoft’s defense, the mentioned feature is only a draft spec and hasn’t been finalized yet.

Being passionate about software, Vygantas began his journalism career back in 2007 when he founded FavBrowser.com. Having said that, he is also an adrenaline junkie who enjoys good books, fitness activities and Forex trading.

Yes! But its mostly authoritive decision, since FF and Chrome where really close, and what have most impact was authoritative importance of those diverse tests.

But it have nothing to do with this news!

I would also added another feature — seamless updates! Its very important to run latest and greatest security patches, so seamless updates is something that improve security a lot (by shortening time when 0-day exploits are worth anything).

I don’t think your every day joe knows teh differnece between cpu and ram. He “knows” that having “more” of it and using “less” of it is supposed to be “better”, but he doesn’t have the skills to verify this on his own. What he does care about, is whether it “works” and whether it works “fast”.
